What is an acid trip like?

LSD is a gift. You may use it as you wish. The primary effect is to give a person a different perspective on life in general. All your life you have seen that A+B=C. Now you find out that his equation is far to simplistic. A + B does equal C but there are multitudinous sub-equations in play. You see the sub-equations and realize that A + B is not so simple. There are many nuances which you are opened up to throug the use of acid.

If you take acid for an inner trip or just for fun you will find so many things hidden in your brain you never knew were there. Neat things, dumfounding things, amazing things - sometime scary things.

Will your trip be like your trip mate - maybe, maybe not. Acid is a very personal matter and you can absolutely depend on no-one but yourself to set the tone. At first, particularly at first focus on the the good, the beautiful - God's natural creation which includes your amazing body. Enjoy rain, warmth, beauty and humor. Later go for introspection, clarification and rectification.

Chemical substance or not - acid is a gift from God available to only a few. Should you be one of the few, Thank Him and enjoy the trip.

I enjoy reading some of your thoughts and Roorshacks as well. In reading this, I was wondering how if and when you try them, how you may respond to other psychedelics and how that may effect some of your ideas about Lsd and psychedelics.

 

The word around the street is that DMT comes in about twice a year where I live, and if it's possible to obtain, I know that's something I want to try. It was fun to think that I dived into a world of LSD, but reading about other psychedelics, it seems there is even more to offer. Peyote is still an impossible find.. I realize now how rare lots of these psychedelics are, including LSD. They should be well respected

I'll definitely write up a report if I get my hands on another psychedelic, shrooms seem to always be available, so perhaps next month

 

Shrooms is worthy research material. :2thumbsup:

 

I have "lost" my ego on salvia. I became a fusion of the white sheet I was lying on and the white ceiling above me, sort of like we'd all been sandwiched into a 2d stack. I was, on some level, aware that this was caused by some external force (salvia) but for all intents and purposes, that was all that existed, a sort of white plane that I was a part of, and no thoughts, beyond BEING this white plane..... thing.

So, not quite in the LSD sense, but I did lose ALL concept of myself, by the middle of the experience. I can remember it happening, but can not remember what it was like, if that makes sense. I remember what I saw, which is white, but still don't remember what it was really like, I'd lost that ability by the time the salvia totally wore off. I guess white planes of nothingness don't have many cognitive or sensory abilities, other than just being

It wasn't introspective, due to the fact that I became something I was not in the first place.... there wasn't much of me left to analyze. Well I guess I was still there, I was just aware that I was now something else, something sort of abstract that didn't even quite exist, and that there was some sort of reality that I was detached from. I think I knew the word "salvia".

But I think I have a reasonably good concept of what people mean by ego death on traditional psychedelics, by extrapolating my experiences on various drugs and following where they would logically lead with more of said drug, combined with peoples descriptions of it. I think that without an ego, it would be quite impossible to have a concept of NOT having an ego, if that makes sense. The ego is somewhat distorted, creating that sense of "one", which seems to be so humbling. The ego, at some point, seems to be thrown into overdrive, or otherwise become confused, and simply claim ownership of everything, which breaks down the wall between you and other things, reversing what the ego would normally do.

I think it comes down to understanding that if the ego is over-active and accepting enough, that it claims everything, it actually reverses it's effect-you will lose your sense of self, because your sense of self is usually generated by the ego's ability to differentiate between you and others.

I'm sorry for how jumbled this post is, I said MOST of what I meant to, though. It might take me quite a while if I was to try to refine it further....

 

Actually that reversal of the effect idea makes a lot of sense. I understand what you meant by like an "ego Black hole" now.. Ya sounds interesting, everything I have read about ego death is the feeling of just "being" so perhaps your assessment is correct. Good idea never the less

 

I wasn't trolling. I was being an idiot and trying to sound cool. I'm actually way more mature than I was when I wrote this, and I apologize for being such a liar.

 

Simply put,you never know until you try it. Your trip will be a manifestation uniquely obtained from your personhood and no others. Plenty of examples have been shown and written about ,but your trip will come from who think you are,who you REALLY are,your beliefs,YOUR FALSE BELIEFS, experiences,good and otherwise. Set and setting will be the filter thru which the experience will flow.
And the snakes. You forget the snakes at your peril.
